Abstract. The research aims to identify the challenges and prospects for preparing future educators for camp counselor roles at children’s summer camps. The article explores the relevance of children’s summer camps in the educational landscape of the Russian Federation and the significance of counselor training as a central component of the summer camp organization system. The work emphasizes the importance of preparing future teachers for their summer camp counselor practice. The article presents the long-standing experience of training future counselors at Voronezh State Pedagogical University. The scientific novelty of the research lies in summarizing the experience of counselor training at Voronezh State Pedagogical University as a historically established practice-oriented system, as well as in analyzing the current state of counselor practice among future educators based on the results of a survey. The research findings reveal that camp counselor practice is a crucial stage in the professional development of future educators. However, the key lies in preparing students for this practice, which should focus on developing specific professional skills and abilities, preparing students for flexible responses to various pedagogical situations, including those of an extreme nature. The work demonstrates the high motivation of students to participate in summer camp practice. However, this does not exclude various challenges and difficulties that students encounter. At the same time, the survey results confirm the effectiveness of the counselor training system established at Voronezh State Pedagogical University.
